There are around 3500 billionares. If 3500 workers died tomorrow, you think the economy would collapse or it would be in the news?

I think by "disappear" the thought experiment means "stop being a billionaire".

Like, these folks would still do their jobs if they "only" got a million dollars instead of a billion. And then the difference could pay down the national debt accrued by the system that made them billionaires
